Museum Archive: Vintage Prescott Spinner Little Doctor 275 Thin, 3/5oz Nickel / Red fishing spoon #3727

Weighing in at 3/5 oz (16g), this specific "Thin" variation of the Little Doctor was engineered for trolling applications where a lighter, more streamlined profile is preferred over heavier casting models. The polished Nickel finish is accented by three distinct red dots positioned near the line tie, which is a signature design element from the Prescott Spinner company of Prescott, Wisconsin. Measuring 3 1/2" (9cm) in length, the spoon's face is clearly stamped with the "Little DOCTOR 27S" model designation along with the manufacturer’s origin. This particular specimen is in 5/5 condition, retaining its bright, reflective surface and original silver-tone treble hook. The construction features a split ring attachment at the tail, ensuring the hardware remains secure during long trolling runs. Crafted in the USA, the lure represents the functional simplicity of vintage mid-century terminal tackle, utilizing a tapered body shape to achieve its intended depth without excessive bulk. The underside is finished in the same high-shine nickel, providing consistent flash from multiple angles.
